Bought the Delphi Roady today & I couldn't’t be more pleased.
Circuit City, Buckhead Atlanta, $120. They had 20 of them. Everything needed is in the package. A simpleton could install it out of the box.
Then stopped by Radio shack on the way home and picked up:
1. 6v 1800mA AC to DC Power Adapter about $14.00 (#273-1763)
2. 6’ Y adapter audio Cable single1/8”stereo to
2 phono males $4.00 (#42-2551)
3. One 6’ 1/8” stereo mini to 1/8” stereo mini $4.00 (#42-2387A)
Roady now plays through my
home stereo through component lines in
Laptop through AC/DC power supply and standard stereo line in
Volvo through Aux in connector on radio front panel
Boom box in garage through L/R line in
Pilot through Cassette adapter.
They all sound excellent. 85% as good as a CD. The Pilot through the cassette adapter comes in last I’m sorry to say. That is because it’s not a direct connection (yet) as all others are. Sure is peculiar that Honda would not put a readily available aux input on the head. That is a simple no brainer. Ipods, XMs, whatever just plug it in.
Anyway got a blitz adapter ordered and will put a mini jack in somewhere discreet. Probably in the front fold down door of the center console.
Also ordered the SkyFi remote from http://www.specmo.com/SkyFI/ProdDescrip.asp?IDNumber=1
which is supposed to work with the Roady.
Sales Part Number: 0TZ00225 Price: $12.74
Gonna pick up another micro antenna from blitz for the house maybe one for the laptop, and treat the Roady as an Ipod. It goes with me.
By the way the micro antenna is incredibly powerful, small and I think paint-able to match.
